My 40 year old Masport cultivator is fitted with a B&S 5HP horizontal shaft motor. Model 132232-0331 It has been good and reliable over the years though a bit cosmetically tired. About six months ago I gave it an overhaul and rebuilt the carby and a new head gasket and it ran like a charm afterwards. I used it to prepare an area of about 6 square meters for some roll out lawn with out it missing a beat until about 30 seconds from finish it died. A quick check and I realised the governor spring was missing ( way of lack of tension on the governor linkage rather than knowledge of the actual part or location.)
Problem is I am not sure what the spring looks like or where it hooks up. I have the B&S manual but it does not show my specific setup so I am at a loss as to what or where.
Can anyone help? Coming up to spring and I would like to prepare the veggie beds
